TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it yknown -that L'GEORGE A. LINGRD, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a netv and improved Button Fastening, &c.;' andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing,forming part of this specification. i

The present invention relates to a novel attachment to buttons, studs,breast-pins, and other articles worn upon clothing, by means of whichthey can be so secured to andin the clothing as to obviate allpossibility of theirbecomirig detached and thus lost when worn. In theaccompanying platcof drawings, my improved button fastening isillustratedl u Figure 1 being a sideor edge view of the button on anenlarged scale; and

Figure 2, a section taken in the plane of the line xx, fig. 1. v

A, inthe drawings, represents abutton or stud, which may be of any ofthe usual forms or styles now in.v common use, and of metal, glass,ivory, or any other suitable material. To the back side of the button orstud A, at its centre, is secured a short screw-spindle or shaft, z,upon which screws a circular plate-or disk, B, moving by its notches, atpoints diametrically opposite to each other, upon the parallel side-barsor pieces O, cfa frame, D, loosely hung upon said centre spindle a. Thedisk B is of a size corresponding to that of the button or 'stud A. Inthewearing of the button or stud A, having the attachment abovedescribed, it is placed with its plate or disk B upon the under or innerside of the garment, through a button-hole or slit in the same, with theframe D extending in the direction of the length of such slit, when,holding the'said frame D stationary by the one hand,- and turning thestud or button A by the other hand to the right or left, as the case maybe, thel disk B can be drawn or moved toward and against the under orinner side of theA garment and thus to firmly bind or secure the buttonthereto, as is obvious Without any further explanation, and in such amanner as to obviaterall possibility of the stud or button becomingdetached and lost asit is now, while atdthe same time'it can be easilyor readily removed. I

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent'- The combination, with a button, stud, Src., having acentre screw spindle a, of a plate or-disk B, and frame D, when combinedand arranged together, substantially as and for the purpose described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 23d day ofOctober, 1866.
